Ubisoft is spam-replying to negative Steam reviews on Black Flag Resynced, saying day-one DLCs are ‘optional extras’

Though it launched to generally positive reviews across the globe (except for China, because that seems to be the norm for Steam these days), Black Flag Resynced has been receiving a good chunk of negative feedback due to the game’s excessive DLCs and microtransactions that are shoved in your face from the moment you get to the main menu.

And Ubisoft is actually going into the Steam review section for its game and responding to most of the top-rated negative reviews, copy-pasting the same response where it says these DLCs are merely “optional extras” for those who want to buy them.

As first spotted by GamesRadar, Ubisoft had begun responding to negative reviews under the Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Steam store page that had been criticizing the title for throwing in so many DLCs and microtransactions in an otherwise single-player game. The company also did this in the original 2013 version, so it’s not like we’re dealing with anything new.
